Palworld is a new release on Steam in Early Access from Pocketpair. A fusion of Pokémon with monster catching, farming, building and much more. It is Steam Deck Playable and does work on Desktop Linux too.
Yeah, of course. There are plenty. I couldn’t play Ghostwire Tokyo at all. And Ghostrunner required some random Windows package, vc2019 or something like that. That’s just off the top of my head.
From epic freebies? I got it running by just installing vcrun via wine tricks button in heroic launcher. Steam games usually install these at first launch behind the scenes.
i find that i have this sort of issue often with pirated games, sometimes they don’t automatically install those like Steam does, but its the same fix as Windows.
you can simply run the .exe installer for VC on the same prefix, exactly like you would do on windows, so not any harder at all.
@helenslunch@umbrella A lot of Windows games need vc runtime or other libraries installed on the system.
Steam users got this managed from the installer (also in linux) but if you install it manually from the game installer chances are that the installer may not manage their dependences.
On linux world you can get a lot of oresets using lutris btw
I had to installvc resistributable and also .net on almost any machine with a fresh installation.
However it is true that i switched to linux as main gaming plataform as soon as steam started to be workable on linux, so things might have been changed.
in any case you can download it from microsoft and run it to install.
OR, to make it simpler some launchers like heroic offer an option to automatically install it, it should be under the option winetricks or similar. dunno if thats your case tho.

oh, most games need visual C runtimes nowadays.

I don’t know what any of that means but it’s not something I ever had to do with Windows.

Yes I understand all of that. My point is, once again, this is additional configuration I never had to figure out with Windows.
@helenslunch Lucky you 😄

i never had to do this for original games on any os.
windows needs this sometimes if you pirate, so does linux.
I didn’t pirate anything

Yes I’m aware. That’s what I said I did. The point being that it wasn’t as simple as it is on Windows.
my point is it is exactly the same procedure as windows. you simply run the vcredist exe.
No it’s not. It’s installed and run in the background without any manual intervention or Googling.
